I still hope that the varsity club goes back(as they did in 2016 with Bob Foley) to induct Gene Doyle and Jim Schnurr ( seriously ill)., both of whom should have been in long ago. Doyle: #20 all time points, 17.5 average, #10 Career reb Ave. Schnurr: #32 all time pts, Ave 15.2. #8 career reb Ave. #9 FG %
But if not, now that Tim S., Kevin H., and Keith S. are in, I think that Jave Meade should be next. Most importantly, he was the primary point guard for three PL championships and three outstanding NCAA games vs highly ranked opponents in '01, '02, and '03. In that Marquette game he played 40 mins, scored 10 on 8 fga, had 11 assists and 2 turnovers, 3 steals. 79-43 career record senior year captain Stats are impressive also Career: 1st in minutes played 2nd in assists, led team all four seasons 3rd in steals, led team the three PLC seasons 1024 points for a pass first point averaged greater than 2 to 1 assist to turnover ratio averaged 3.4 rebounds as a point guard

amen, amen! agree 100% about jave for the hc hof.
while a case can be made for torey, i think jave was the best hc point guard of the pl era and one of the better point guards at any school in the pl era.
even beyond jave's excellent statistics, he was an absolutely superb floor general and confident leader in ways that can't be quantified. point guard is the most important position on the court and jave was a major reason that we won those three pl championships. i will never forget his focused intensity during the pl championship win over american at the hart center.

Must one be a graduate of hc to be in hof. There could always be an exception in some extraordinary circumstances, but I would think so.

I would hope so! We don't need no stinkin' Stacom! (We know that who you're thinking about!)

Though I loved Jave long before he came to HC, I would put both Michael and Keith Hochstein ahead of Jave.

George Connor is in the HoF, and he played one season. Not his only HoF either.

I assume you are advocating for gene. I'd be very disappointed in the varsity club if they voted stacom in.

I just came up with a handful of examples off the top of my head to support my premise that graduating from HC is not a requirement for the Hall. I'm guessing there were some great coaches who I've never heard of because they were in "minor" sports but still inducted

My opinion athletes should not make hof unless they graduate absent extenuating circumstances.

The names mentioned were not selected as athletes. Sockalexis ? Connor ? I stand corrected. Thanks. Coaches and chaplains are a separate situation. Sockalexis and Connor are two clear exceptions as athletes. Unless the is a clear reason for an exception , I still prefer that all athletes be graduates of HC.

Unless the is a clear reason for an exception , I still prefer that all athletes be graduates of HC. I agree that there should be a darn good reason for a non graduate athlete to get in. I had to look up the Connor story. Leaving school to join the military is a no brainer, free pass in my book Sockalexis isn't as clear. Because it's a cool yet tragic story as baseball's first indian I like pushing the HC connection. Also if you look up his exploits, it is insane how above the bell curve they were. That being said, in all fairness, wasn't he just an off the charts stud version of Kevin Stacom who just chose to transfer?
